"Mama Parappa" (no official name has been revealed) is the mother to Parappa Rappa and Pinto Rappa, yet a very obscure character hardly -if ever- present in the fiction, presumably because she would be occupied by her work. Her absence is glaring and sometimes comes off as if she has passed away. In a the RodneyFun Comics, PaRappa has gotten quite a gaming habit. His mother -dressed up in Firefighter suit- and his father are drinking tea together discussing PaRappa's situation. They are shown to be worried and ponder if he should get a job, which PaRappa overhears and acts on.
